Yes, not hard to find details as there are several obits.
The Sydney Morning Herald - Fri 6 May 1927 p.12
A LEADING SCOT.
DEATH. OF MR. JOHN KIRKLAND.
Mr. John Kirkland, who was well known in city commercial circles, died at his home at Burwood last night, in his 85th year. He was born in Scotland, and passed his early years in Glasgow, and to the last he retained a strong Scottish accent. Coming out to Melbourne as a young man, he entered into business as an iron merchant, and about 40 years ago came to Sydney. ...
An image of a NSW death certificate should be ok provided resolution enables it to be clearly read.
Marriages were recorded in the early days of the colony but not all records survived to the date the computerised index was created.
One from 1790.

Can't be sure what is going on there as there are errors in the index - sometimes with the running number 1837 and 1637 and sometimes with the year.
There is no death in the index 1842 - 1850 and with the running numbers so similar I suspect one is an error and that only one of those will be found on film. But you can't be sure until the film is scanned for 1637 and for 1837.
That could be two daughters named Sarah with one who died young or one of the reg is just an error. It would mean checking the film which I can't do until say 31 Dec or 2nd week of Jan. I'm going away this Friday to visit my cousin at Dungowan.

Sometime you get the mother's maiden name. You do not get place of birth. I have several baptisms in NSW where the child was born in England or on the vessel.

Several possibilities. When did he arrive in NSW? If he didn't marry and there was never any record of the marriage to get lost there could be births of children before 1842 not registered and not in the NSW index.
Ok post #1 ... Barque Tranmere to Port Jackson ... or that's not right.
A check of those birth records may help but we are a day late. I was in the library this morning but won't be free until 31st at earliest.
